Is there a answer anywhere?

In Windows Vista Home Premium is there any way to select the folder view
and have it as a default? Sometimes the View shows large folders or large
icons or a list or a detailed list. A suggestion would be much
appreciated.
Thanks. Gene L

It is probably best to post this in a WINDOWS VISTA NG rather than Word.

Windows Vista (and XP) let the user define views, but it seems to work best
as a global change on a disk partition. So I use separate partitions for
Music, Videos, Photos and Documents. This lets you set up how the folders in
each partition are set up - not just the View but all the choice of
information (columns) to display and their default widths. You hardly want
the documents folder so to display the Bit Rate by default but it is
desirable in your Music partition.

Another advantage in partitioning like this is that you can reserve the
primary partition for Windows, then if you ever need to reinstall Vista, you
don't have touch the partitions that store your own data, music, photos,
etc.

BTW, this is a peer-to-peer Newsgroup where volunteers answer the Word
questions. There is no monitoring by MS staff nor are there any instant
answers as all we all have other lives: so please be a little more patient
and not demand an answer after just 5 minutes.
